(** Rustc inserts a lot of drops before the assignments.

    We consider those drops are part of the assignment, and splitting the
    drop and the assignment is problematic for us because it can introduce
    [⊥] under borrows. For instance, we encountered situations like the
    following one:
    
    {[
      drop( *x ); // Illegal! Inserts a ⊥ under a borrow
      *x = move ...;
    ]}

(** This pass slightly restructures the control-flow to remove the need to
    merge branches during the symbolic execution in some quite common cases
    where doing a merge is actually not necessary and leads to an ugly translation.

    TODO: this is useless

    For instance, it performs the following transformation:
    {[
      if b {
          var@0 := &mut *x;
      }
      else {
          var@0 := move y;
      }
      return;

      if b {
          var@0 := &mut *x;
          return;
      }
      else {
          var@0 := move y;
          return;
      }
    ]}

    This way, the translated body doesn't have an intermediate assignment,
    for the `if ... then ... else ...` expression (together with a backward
    function).

    More precisly, we move (and duplicate) a statement happening after a branching
    inside the branches if:
    - this statement ends with [return] or [panic]
    - this statement is only made of a sequence of nops, assignments (with some
      restrictions on the rvalue), fake reads, drops (usually, returns will be
      followed by such statements)

(** This pass restructures the control-flow by inserting all the statements

    on the loops for now.

(** Remove the use of shallow borrows from a function.

    In theory, this allows the code to do more things than what Rust allows,
    and in particular it would allow to modify the variant of an enumeration
    in a guard, while matching over this enumeration.

    In practice, this is not a soundness issue.

    **Soundness**:
    ==============
    For instance, let's consider the following Rust code:
    {[
      match ls : &mut List<u32> {
        Nil => return None,
        Cons(hd, tl) if *hd > 0 => return Some(hd),
        Cons(hd, tl) => ...,
      }
    ]}

    The Rust compiler enforces the fact that the guard doesn't modify the
    variant of [ls]. It does so by compiling to (approximately) the following
    MIR code:
    {[
      let d = discriminant( *ls);
      switch d {
        0 => ... // Nil case
        1 => { // Cons case
          // Introduce hd and tl
          hd := &mut ( *ls as Cons).0;
          tl := &mut ( *ls as Cons).1;

          // Evaluate the guard
          tmp := &shallow *ls; // Create a shallow borrow of ls
          b := *hd > 0;
          fake_read(tmp); // Make sure the shallow borrow lives until the end of the guard

          // We evaluated the guard: go to the proper branch
          if b then {
            ... // First Cons branch
          }
          else {
            ... // Second Cons branch
          }
        }
      }
    ]}

    Shallow borrows are a bit like shared borrows but with the following
    difference:
    - they do forbid modifying the value directly below the loan
    - but they allow modifying a strict subvalue
    For instance, above, for as long as [tmp] lives:
    - we can't change the variant of [*ls]
    - but we can update [hd] and [tl]

    On our side, we have to pay attention to two things:
    - Removing shallow borrows don't modify the behavior of the program.
      In practice, adding shallow borrows can lead to a MIR program being
      rejected, but it doesn't change this program's behavior.

      Regarding this, there is something important. At the top-level AST,
      if the guard modifies the variant (say, to [Nil]) and evaluates to [false],
      then we go to the second [Cons] branch, which doesn't really make sense
      (though it is not a soundness issue - for soundness, see next point).

      At the level of MIR, as the match has been desugared, there is no issue
      in modifying the variant of the scrutinee.

    - We have to make sure the evaluation in sound. In particular, modifying
      the variant of [*ls] should invalidate [hd] and [tl]. This is important
      for the Rust compiler to enforce this on its side. In the case of LLBC,
      we don't need additional constraints because modifying [*ls] will
      indeed invalidate [hd] and [tl].

      More specifically, at the beginning of the [Cons] branch and just after
      we introduced [hd] and [tl] we have the following environment:
      {[
        ... // l0 comes from somewhere - we omit the corresponding loan
        ls -> MB l0 (Cons (ML l1) (ML l2))
        hd -> MB l1 s1
        tl -> MB l2 s2
      ]}

      If we evaluate: [*ls := Nil], we get:
      {[
        ... // l0 comes from somewhere - we omit the corresponding loan
        ls -> MB l0 Nil
        hd -> ⊥ // invalidated
        tl -> ⊥ // invalidated
      ]}

    **Implementation**:
    ===================
    The pass is implemented as follows:
    - we look for all the variables which appear in pattern of the following
      shape and remove them:
      {[
        let x = &shallow ...;
        ...
      ]}
    - whenever we find such a variable [x], we remove all the subsequent
      occurrences of [fake_read(x)].

    We then check that [x] completely disappeared from the function body (for
    sanity).
